    ZFS snapshotter plugin for containerd (by containerd)

  • truecharts

    Discontinued Community App Catalog for TrueNAS SCALE [Moved to: https://github.com/truecharts/charts]

  • I'd say something similar to Bilal_io.

    In general as a NAS: No every function is already migrated to Scale, there are some quirks here and there, but as a NAS is working OK

    Regarding the "Apps": It's too heavy for (really) old systems, but it seems to work OK in newer systems. Although you could in practice, don't expect to "just run a Docker image", you better use their "App charts". The "App" definitions are based on Helm and there is both an "Official" repository and a "Community" repository (Truecharts) of them. You can also create your own repo and add it to your Scale deployment.

    I have some simple apps (Transmission, Heimdall and some other stuff) running in a E3-1265L 32GB RAM and everything es working well.

    But I have a really old HP Microserver N40L as an offsite backup for my NAS where I've installed TrueNAS Scale too, and although the NAS works OK, if I try to install any apps, the K3S installation plus all the tools overhead is too much for the machine, and keeps it at 100% CPU almost permanently. If you remove all the apps and detach the storage from the App system it uninstalls all that stuff and goes back to work well again.
